01292013 Good Morning!
Hello Everyone!
Typing web still does not work in our lab, so we will try using Spelling City.
However, first, I would like you to comment on the new Wordle and let me know what area of Allied Health might be interesting to you.

Wordle Mystery Solved! Oksana's Name Corrected!
Hello All,
I found out why LE's name did not appear in our most recent Wordle! Apparently Wordle will not display "French" words in its default settings. When I changed that, it displayed Le's name. I have made her name slightly larger than the rest to make up for the oversight! Sorry Le!
I have also corrected the spelling of OKSANA's name on the Typing Web Summary (Week 1) Page.
Please leave a comment if you notice anything else!
See you soon!

Flu Season Awareness -- Have you had your shot yet?
Today the students went around with flyers promoting flu-season awareness and encouraging students and faculty to get their flu shots at tomorrow's flu shot clinic on campus at RTC. They had to brave the cold to complete the task, and everyone worked together to get word out!
Thank you everybody! Let's hope for a good turnout tomorrow!

Swifter, Higher, Stronger... Olympian Typists!
Today we had our first Awards Ceremony to celebrate our fastest and hardest working typists. There were three of each for each of the term so far, so we had 18 winners (not all different, but all very happy and talented. Here are the pictures. The top three in each category were given awards, with the number one spot getting a choice of chocolate bars and a GOLD MEDAL!
Even if you aren't a very fast typist, you can get a medal if you are diligent (= hard working). Just type the longest of everyone in the class you can can bring home some gold too!
Congratulations to all!

Xue's Wordle Project
The other day Xue brought in a few Wordles that she made with her kids at home. She used the Wordle link from our blog and then she used her KCLS library card to print her Wordles in color for FREE!
I asked her to pose for this picture to show us her project. You can do the same and make your very own Wordle, to celebrate some occasion.... All you need to do is follow our link and type in your words!
Good work Xue!

01132013 Typing Web Scoreboard
Congratulations to Xue, Farida and Frida, our gold, silver and bronze medalists in last week's typing practice. Our gold and silver medalists practiced for more than an hour last week! That's great!
Right now, typing speed is not as important as typing time. Later in the term, we might have a contest for typing time, so keep practicing!
